2. Reportedly she took two different prepared speeches home to make her decision

as to which one to deliver. No leaks, so we wait.

It has been suggested that an Emeritus Advisory role be created for her. I think that is infinitely better than her stepping away from leadership if she does. I can't think of any likely single congressperson who could fill her shoes at the moment.

I'll support her decision whatever it may be. But I really think she's going to retire and pass the torch.

I could understand if she wanted to retire and devote time to him.
